<<< Having a few communist type hippies sleeping around the house was "doable." But, now, the few are many, they have political power, and they want us all to live in cities such as this, returning "the land" to Mother Nature.
Before reading the
following, you should know (1) that the
NSF is funded by tax dollars. “We, the
people,” paid for this Utopian
nonsense. (2) Utopian Science (aka Environmentalist Junk Science) is being used to redistribute wealth through aggressive/regressive
taxation, taking money earned by hard
working Americans (not just from the rich) and assessed property evaluations.
(3) The Wisconsin-Madison utopian scenario is one in which the world is taken
over by the know-nothing X generation and its offspring, returning modern day civilization to the
stone age, where man, apparently,
lived in harmony with other nomad populations, stopped building houses out of brick, motar,wood,
and whatever, and returned to tents,
caves and sleeping under the stars
--- you know, back to a time when the blind, the toothless, the hard of hearing, the crippled, and the under-educated all died early deaths because they could not compete.
Did I say “compete?!” Indeed,
“competition” is hated by the hippie communal population, but it will be the death of this nonsensical
idea, if it ever were to “get off the
ground.” Such is the innately existential problem with communalism, whether that be the Communism of the past or the Marxist inspired Progressive/socialism of the present. There is no place for the "competitor," in a thorough-going, Marxist inspired, socialist, society.

Further, you should know that “sustainability” is fast
becoming the most important concept in the world of redistribution. If land use is not deemed “sustainable usage,” someday, in the not-too-distant future, it can be taken from its rightful
owners, those who paid the taxes and
purchased the property, and given to the
larger community. Key to “sustainability”
under Utopian Rule, is the notion of the
“greater good.” Take a rural piece of property, 500 acres in size, for example, and a family of four living on
that acreage. That family has worked
hard, and now, own their dream world . . . . . . . . . . but the property benefits only that family of
four. There is a time, coming,
in which the local or state government may take that property, under the rules of eminent domain, and give it
(or sell it) to a manufacturing entity, or a larger, farming complex, thus benefiting
the larger community. When the article
(or the website, if you should go there)
speaks of “forcibly” taking property
from the wealthy, it envisions the radicalized use of eminent domain laws, and, all property owned by the comparative
few, “rich” or not. “The rich,” under Utopian Rule, are
individual property owners who are not producing for the common good.
(5) "Community
building and sustainability," under
Utopian Rule, are key to the new society
of “peace and love” and the very
opposite to all that this great nation,
has stood for, during its centuries-old existence. The rub,
in all this, is the fact that the
United States of America
is under attack by Academic, Theoretic, America, and
the taxpayer is funding this imagined take-over.
Here is an except from the article in question:
The National Science
Foundation (NSF) gave nearly $5 million to the University
of Wisconsin-Madison to create
scenarios based on America ’s
actions on climate change, including a utopian future where everyone rides a
bike and courts forcibly take property from the wealthy.
The government has awarded $4,911,961 for the project, which is slated to run
until March 2016 and for which the school has created a website suggesting
different possibilities of what Yahara, a Wisconsin watershed, will be like in
2070.
In the scenario where
Americans “shift our values,” people live in hippie-like communes after “youth
culture” convinces the world to give up their cars and eat vegetarian.
“By the 2020s, the world
seemed at the edge of environmental and political collapse,” the scenario says.
“Despite this predicament, youth culture becomes empowered to shift the course
of humanity. Disenchanted with the country’s highly consumptive culture, the
younger generations embrace community building and sustainability and work together
through grassroots action to get their voices heard.”
The youth bring about the
“Great Transition” in the 2040s, establishing a “new normal” where
“connectivity, community, and environmental sustainability pervade policy and
cultural decisions.”
The protagonist of the story
is Rosa, a “community organizer” for a United Nations youth group “Badgers for
Our Future,” who presides over the only holiday celebrated in the
community . . . . . you will want to read the full news article
at the Free Beacon.
Smithson's world is where the rich oligarchy enslave an obedient population of impoverished, where the US refuses to cooperate with the world and takes a view of inherent 'superiority' and lawmakers refuse to govern on evidence based science in an effort to preserve the top 1%.
ReplyDeleteUNSUSTAINABLE
Sure to bring about this nation's demise.
You call them "the rich oligarchy," taking a page out of the modern-day communist hand book. Your use of the term to typify Corporate America and its hundreds of thousands of business leaders and CEO is an intentional misuse of the word (oligarchy) and factual lie, as such. Your American "oligarchy" provides jobs for the CEO's and entrepreneurs who invest their own capital, at a huge risk, and the hundreds of millions of blue collar workers who are paid a living wage for their work, and the few, entry level workers, who start at the bottom of the wage latter, only to qualify themselves for a living wage, in the years to come. Your have no alternative to this process. It is how wealth is created and earned and, it is the only path to upward mobility. The government cannot and does not offer "upward mobility," and that is what is wrong with a taker society. But you are probably on the dole, yourself, so how would you know the difference. I worked for the home I live in and the food on my table, you probably did not.
ReplyDeleteMy opponent talks about "unsustainable." what is unsustainable is the creation of debt and the "something for nothing" mentality of the Left Dream Machine. Sooner or later, you will run out of other peoples money and property and we will all be equally poor, with no way out -- kind of like the populations of Venezuela, or Cuba, or China, or N Korea, or Russia of the borderless world of the EU. What happens to the world with the United States of America functioning as it did before our mindless reformers came along? It goes to hell, in a hand basket, in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteLiving wage? What a joke. At one time a person could feed a family of 4 on a minimum wage job. Not any more, thanks to the society that Republicans have created starting with Reagan. The GOP destroyed the American economy - according to a Reaganite:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.marketwatch.com/story/reagan-insider-gop-destroyed-us-economy-2010-08-10
at NO TIME could a family of four live on the minimum wage of that particular day and age, thus, the moniker "minimum wage," moron. Besides, who said that "minimum wage" was ever supposed to be a living wage? Don't forget, "minimum wage" was a progressive idea. You guys wrote the law and created the problem.
ReplyDeleteAs far as your article of indictment, anyone can find an article on anything. The essay is meaningless in view of the successes of the Bush Administration: 52 months of increasing GDP, a national record and a record low "average low" unemployment number against a near record high participation rate.
Obama's participation rate is at a 38 year low; he has served over the longest "high unemployment" rate since FDR; and, as of yesterdays revisions to the GDP rate of 1 Q 2014, our GDP is a minus .01%. Of the 49 consecutive months of increasing employment numbers, 47 of those months saw more people leave the workforce than found jobs . . . . another record. Why not use your pie-hole for food consumption and less for mouthing off about that, which, you know almost nothing.
